Your benefits
as a buyer
When you buy through a sale page with buy now, you are fully protected:
Escrow included
ELITEDOMAINS GmbH acts as escrow agent under German law. The seller only gets the money once the domain can be handed over safely. If that fails, you get your money back.
No buyer fees
The escrow service is free for buyers. There are no surcharges for the payment method either. The seller pays the commission.
Fast transfer
If the domain is at ELITEDOMAINS, you get the AuthCode right after payment and usually move the domain to your provider within minutes.
Many payment methods
Pay by credit card, PayPal, Klarna, Apple Pay, Google Pay and other methods. In many countries prepayment is possible too. More about payment methods (German).
Price offers possible
For many domains you can propose your own price. If the seller accepts, you get a personal purchase link. More about negotiations (German).
Invoice right away
The invoice arrives by e-mail right after payment. VAT is calculated automatically, for companies with a VAT ID also via reverse charge.
